About the Game

The Wall Musn't Fall is a game about surviving an onslaught of enemies through the strategic decisions that you've made. You start off by selecting a hero with unique abilities. As you successfully defend, you are able to recruit ai controlled allies which you can level up by making subsequent purchases of the same ally or using an item or perk that will give them experience. Leveling up your allies will grant them stat bonuses and a new ability. You can gain synergetic bonuses by having a certain number of the same class of unit.

There are different weapons that serve different purposes and while any unit can equip any weapon, some weapons may make more sense on certain units. As your run progresses, weapons begin to have more effects. You can also pay gold to apply effects to weapons at the anvil.
